  2. Bigmouth strums again: was Andy Burnham’s Smiths jam in Kyiv the perfect soundtrack to a Britain in freefall?
    By Zoe Williams

    The UK prime minister clearly still adores the band. Perhaps he’s attracted to songs about sham justice and murderous meat factories, shot through with nihilism and exquisite despair

  4. The Smiths, The World Won’t Listen, 1987 on Rough Trade

    This is a compilation album—the second of three—including singles and b-sides from 1985-1987. Most of these tracks also appear on Louder Than Bombs (a 2xLP), but two are different versions and two are edits.

    Fantastic collection of songs, including “Panic,” “Ask,” “Bigmouth Strikes Again,” “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore,” and “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby.”

    What teenager hasn’t felt “And I’ve got no right to take my place in the human race . . . “?

    My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a UK issue from 1987, pressed by MPO. (Louder than Bombs was released in the US in lieu of this record, which was not released on vinyl in the US until the 2011 reissue series).

  5. "Meat is Murder," the second record by the Smiths, was released 40 years ago yesterday. Tiernan Cannon became a fan of the band long after it became obvious that lead singer Morrissey is a bad egg, "a battle-hardened culture warrior of the right wing, a man whose political views have slipped far beyond the point of contrarianism into straight-up chauvinism." The problem, says Cannon, writing for @PasteMagazine, is that Morrissey — back in the day, at least — was also an exquisite songwriter, capable of eliciting empathy, calling for compassion, taking the side of the underdog. Here's Cannon's story on what to do when the artist is a genius, but the human being is "pathetically, tragically flawed." What's your perspective — can you separate the art from the artist?
